    cross your fingers and type
    C:\Windows\System32>
    diskpart
    sel dis 1
    sel par 2
    delete partition override
    sel par 1
    extend
    shrink minimum=1025
    create partition primary
    format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
    set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
    gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
    exit


    Just in case we still can't delete Partition 2 we need the USB-Solution

    GHOT's solution did not work. Still re-booted.




    Just for future reference guys.
    Boot loops are no fun.

    shutdown /s /t 0
    shutdown /s /t 0 or shutdown /s /p isn't a solution. It's a workaround and I'm not sure it will work.

    @therealsimpsons, you should reset BIOS (load defaults) and change a few things to boot as UEFI-GPT and set memory to XMP.

    Did you created a drive image before you begin changing drive 1?

    s.th.

    I selected #1, but the other one is still there...still reboots automatically on shut down. I have two different lines in the boot menu with the same thing. I'm going to post a picture.

    I turned on the PC, it booted up, when I tapped F12 the query came up for which boot item to use. I chose #2, and it booted up okay. I did not save it as primary or anything else. When I shut down, same thing, it rebooted automatically again. PS. I did not run any of those commands from earlier, except the one I sent a screen shot of.

    Option 1 is the normal EFI boot.
    Option 2 is something created by Pentagon instructions.
    Option 3 is the old option. You must delete the System and the recovery partition on drive 0
    Option 4 is probably a USB drive.
    Option 5 is the CD/DVD drive.

    Why you have two boot options for the same drive 1 is the result of the instructions given to you.
